This is the best Greek restaurant in town and I can't wait to come back again. I highly recommend for everyone to come.
Excellent food. We come here every week. Great service. Highly recommend!!!! Order the gyro. . !!
Great staff and good food. We've tried the plates and the bowls and both are great. The service is fast and the food is fresh
I ordered the chicken souvlaki plate to go and picked it up when it was said to be ready. The chicken was cold and a couple of pieces on the skewer were full of gristle. The Greek salad had hardly any olives or feta and was basically tasteless. This restaurant was excellent when it first opened, but it is gone seriously downhill and it certainly wasn't worth the $20 that I had to spend. Needless to say, I will never be coming to this restaurant again.
I ordered a chicken wrap with some fries. Their fries are soggy and salty that I had to throw them away. When I looked at the chicken wrap, these soggy fries were also in it so I had to pick them out. I love tzatziki sauce on Greek food but their wrap had some yellowish mayo sauce instead which was very disappointing. Their meat was tough and overall food was not Greek in my opinion.
Business response:
Hey Amy, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your meal. Our fries should never be served soggy or overly salty, so I’ll be speaking with the team to make sure we’re checking quality before orders go out. I also wanted to clarify that our chicken gyro wrap comes standard with mustard sauce, not tzatziki. If you prefer tzatziki, we’re always happy to substitute it—just let us know when ordering. That said, I’m sorry the meal didn’t meet expectations, especially with the chicken texture and overall experience. We appreciate th... read more
I asked for tzatziki sauce on the side and somehow I ended up with a ton of creamy mayonnaise over everything. It's really too bad because I've eaten at this chain before and it's pretty solid. Won't be going back here again. The photo I took is literally me just taking it out of the wrap and opened it up. It was leaking all over the place. It was so gross. Unfortunately, this is the second bad meal. I've gotten here. I really regret giving it another chance and wasting my money.
Business response:
Hey Irene, I’m really sorry about this. If you asked for tzatziki on the side, you should’ve gotten exactly that — not a wrap covered in sauce and leaking everywhere. That’s not how our food should be going out, and I get why you’re frustrated, especially since you’ve already had a bad experience with us before. I’ve already addressed this with the team so we’re more careful with orders and portions moving forward. If you’re open to it, I’d like to make this right. Feel free to reach out to me at the store and I’ll take c... read more
The hummus was awful. It tasted sour and not like real authentic Greek hummus at all. The chicken kabob was half burnt and at the bottom was tons of grease which I cannot and would eat due to health reasons. So we spent the money and had to throw it all away. A total waste. I would never come here again or recommend it to anyone. I love Greek/Mediterranean food, but this was not it in the slightest. Horrible experience. I'd give it negative zero stars if I could. What a shame.
Business response:

Please email me directly at sanclemente@fran.nickthegreek.com so I can personally make it right for you — I’d like to offer compensation and a gift card for the inconvenience. I’ll also be speaking with our kitchen team regarding the hummus and chicken preparation to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Thank you for bringing this to my attention — I truly appreciate your feedback and ... read more
I'd highly stay cautious of this place when deciding to come and eat here. Went here for lunch with a buddy of mine, we went around 11:40-50 (almost an hour after opening) and when we got there no happy greeting, no smells from cooking food, no music, etc. My buddy went up to order first and started asking about portion sizes and meats, he asked about there chicken and while asking the cashier about the chicken she asked the cooker if the chicken was ready (in Spanish) and he said no it's not ready yet, she then proceeded t... read more
